Restarting the Engine

Sent to Be has been under construction. Well, really, the whole project has been under review. I am finding that the spiritual life can cower behind its public face; words seem to shrink from being glowing indicators of living truths to shadows and mimes, always less than what is meant or understood by the writer.

Perhaps the fault lies with me. This blog, born on a whim, has always been a bit slap dash. Will more thought make it better? I am not sure. There are so many ways in which the interior life resists description, not least of which is a desire for privacy. And a sense that noone else really cares about the interior life of an average sort of blogging Catholic.

But doubts and inadequacy aside, Sent to Be will soldier on for now. Somehow, the post lineup has gotten out of order. Old posts are showing up like postcards from the back of an untidy drawer that has been rearranged.

I expect new ones will soon take their places.

For now, we go forward into October, with Padre Pio's remembrance behind us and St. Francis' coming soon.

May the saints be with you.

Deo, dicamus gratias!
